# 2 Ipe triple laminate warbow 120lb 32''

(1/5) > >>

Mikkolaht:
I finished the second stave, this time the longer one.
These both were supposed to be 70lb bows but i get carried away easily.
And the laminates were too thick to begin with, i had no previous experience with ipe.
Lets hope they legalize moose hunting with bows in Finland soon...

84.6'''/ 215cm long
81.5''/ 207cm nock to nock
120lb 32'' draw

This one doesn't have D cross section, it has more square cross section.






This time i wanted to make sure i grip the bow from the right position.
The plate is 1'' up from the middle.
The handle is 1''(2.5cm) up from middle and 3-1/2''(9cm) down from the middle, making it
4-1/2'' long.(11.5cm)



Ipe/maple/hickory

Ipe laminate 15mm/ slightly less 5/8''
Maple 5mm/ 3/16''
Hickory 5mm/ 3/16''
Width 30mm/ about 1-3/16''
Nock width 15mm/ slightly less 5/8''

Moose horn sidenocks, i left the to be large, i like the natural look on them.



Comparison to the previous bow:

peacefullymadewarbows:
That's a sweet duo there. Those should be some super durable bows with the woods you chose for them. I like the unstrung profile and your tiller is already spot on.

Mikkolaht:
Yeah, the ipe brothers there  :D

It looks funny, reflex middle deflex tips, kinda like reverse reflex deflex look  :)

Thanks alot!

DC:
Beautiful bow. When you're bracing it doesn't the string hang up on the tips when they aren't tapered in nicely?

Mikkolaht:
Thank you.

The bracing string stays at its place. The horns are tapering just slightly. That is enough for them to keep the sting from slipping in to the actual string groove.
